I didn't post so far on this thread because like Peter I only rarely have=20
noticed this. Typically, I noticed this only when the ADSL/wireless=20
connection is congested or playing up. Essentially, I concluded that I am=
=20
asking FF/Konqueror to scroll down a page that it hasn't yet finished=20
downloading or rendering. Not sure if the latest version is behaving in th=
is=20
manner.
I have not noticed Opera suffering from this, probably because it uses a=20
different model for deciding at which point in the download process it rend=
ers=20
the page.
PS. Browser engines are programmed to give the impression of speed by=20
rendering pages *before* they complete downloading. This decision making=20
process involves the different elements on a page (text, scripts, images,=20
etc.) and the observed behaviour may be related to the way that FF/Konquero=
r=20
treat different elements during a slow download Vis A Vis Opera, or other=20
browsers that don't suffer as much from this problem.
